The Lost Children Net Label releases EPs and Full Lengths from Instrumental/Experimental/Post-Rockish kind of bands. We're an mp3 online releaser only and provide the music free as we believe that art should be free to the world.

But artists should be paid. We're sick of being reduced to "content." Wealth inequality is growing globally, and it becomes harder and harder for many of us to just get by, to pay rent and feed ourselves. Yet big companies like Apple and Samsung and blank media producers and ISPs continue to rake in the dough. Without our content, Facebook would be nothing, without our content, Google would have no viewers to capitalize on ads sales, without our content, what would you be burning on those CD-Rs? Let's all demand a bigger piece of the pie.

Links to the artist roster are below. Don't hesitate to get in touch.
